Birth Injury

Birth injury, or birth trauma, refers to any damage an infant sustains during the birthing process due to forces like compression or traction, or factors that restrict blood flow or oxygen intake. In the U.S., there are an average of six to eight significant birth injuries per 1,000 live births, and these injuries contribute to fewer than two percent of neonatal deaths and stillbirths. Common birth injuries include caput succedaneum, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, bruising, and cephalohematoma.

More About Birth Injuries and Infant Palsy

Cerebral Palsy is a condition in which an infant's brain and central nervous system are damaged. This condition may be caused by pregnancy complications, birth injuries, or post-birth problems such as asphyxia, neonatal stroke, or subconjunctival hemorrhage (bleeding of the eye). If the mother has a small pelvis, or if the baby is large at birth, this may increase the baby's risk of developing Erb's Palsy. read more
